About me
Hello, I’m Bettie, a Level 5 Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, registered with the NCPS. I work nationwide across the UK, via phone and video sessions, supporting people to improve their wellbeing and mental health. I have gained extensive experience in counselling, working frequently with:
- anxiety
- low self-confidence / low self-esteem
- depression and loneliness
- relationships
- sexuality
- identity
- addiction
- bereavement / loss
- neurodiversity and disability
These keywords can often feel like to start counselling, clients should have specific diagnoses or a ‘certainty’ in what you are struggling with. This is not the case. Whether you know exactly what support you are looking for, or you are simply feeling overwhelmed or lost and need a place to explore why, there is a space for you in counselling.
My work is rooted in the Person-Centered approach, meaning that clients lead the sessions, controlling the pace and taking the work in whatever direction feels important to them. Person-centered counselling focusses on self-exploration and self-acceptance, helping clients to recognise their worth without conditions. Therefore, a compassionate and non-judgemental environment is ever-present in my work.
While my work is underpinned by person-centered values at all times, I may also integrate other methodologies where this feels useful and resonates with my clients. Examples of this integration may be using CBT techniques to equip clients with practical skills of noticing triggers and developing coping mechanisms for difficult moments or Transactional Analysis theories when exploring emotional responses, healthy boundaries, people pleasing or to simply better understand their inner self. Whatever the challenge, my work is flexible and tailored to meet the individual needs of each client.
The success of counselling is largely impacted by the trusting and respectful relationship between client and counsellor. It is my highest priority to provide a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space for you to be your truest self, where you feel accepted and supported at all times.
I understand that taking the initial step to reach out for support can be difficult. However, know that you are accepted, and I am grateful that you have taken the first step to find support by reading my profile. I currently offer a free 15 minute consultation for clients to explore what working together would be like, which can be organised via email. Do not hesitate to get in touch with any questions or queries. I would love to support you in your personal growth.
